Jogging: Before or After lifting

I have normally ran (20-30min) before, during, and after workouts. No set schedule, just ran whenever i wanted to. I hear contrasting views when running is better. What does TW think?

a 10 min warmup before is good

after i would do your long run

i usually just walk at the highest incline for 10 mins pre workout to get body ready to do things

I do:
warmup
stretch
run
lift
cooldown

in that order.

i prefer
5min warm up
stretch
lift
cardio
stretch

so i take it that its a matter of preference then. Usually with my no xplode, energy is not a problem. I just wanted to make sure that, lack of energy aside, there are no performance issues.

I think the only thing you want to look out for is doing so much cardio before lifting that it impedes your ability to get a good workout. Other than that, I don't think order will have a large impact.

Run before lifting. That's how the track all stars do it too.
edit: make sure you do cool down and stuff still though

yea... I would do most of your running afterwards. Most places i've read basically mention that a long run before hand makes it a bit hard to be ROORING to go lift some weights afterwards. So keep the jog light before hand get that blood flowing, then do your lifting. Then if your going to do a long run do it after you lift.

Pussies.

if your lifting and running in same session, run after

it is better to run in the morning before breakfast, eat, maybe eat lunch, and then lift. that way you can maximize your potential in the gym

After.

I've always heard 'after' is the best. I always run after.

When you lift weight you want to be at your freshest because the idea is to do as much muscle tear as possible. If you're too exhausted then you wont lift as much, and everything will be wasted.
Since lifting is anaerobic, it requires "more energy" in a given moment than jogging. As such, jogging is low effort compared to lifting, and should be done at the end.
I always fine endurance stuff more tiring than lifting heavy weights.

after you lift your body is scrounging for calories

why the fuck would you spend time running instead of consuming food

^haha awesome name.

aww banned

when i run its a workout all on its own.
i run in the mornings and lift at night.

i dont like to lift and run in the same session. i feel like i dont get a good run in or a good workout in.

The best thing to do is to have separate your lifting and running. Do one in the morning and the other in the afternoon/evening. Not only does this the most for your body, it also makes it easier to do the workouts. Who wants to spend 2 hours in the gym working out in a single session?
